I sold some BTE for some BTC earlier.. Do I pay taxes on the transction? Do I need to be a MSB??

Only if BTE really exists. If it does, then yes you do. Turn yourself in now, you criminal.

As far as my understanding goes, FinCEN regulations only kick in when you are exchanging for a "real" currency. As long as you keep your transactions in the virtual exchanges, exchange for goods and services, or basically everything except converting to a real government based currency, you are exempt from FinCEN regulations. Once you attempt to convert into a "real" currency, FinCEN applies to help protect against money laundering activities.

Refer to:  http://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/FIN-2013-G001.html  for more information.
bottom line, it is how it works.

how did you sell the BTE? is there an exchange?
How can you pay taxes on mined BTE? They have no value. What am I missing?

Fincen is about virtual currencies, not bitcoin, so it applies in the same manner.
